After long negotiations and back and forths between the EU, Microsoft, and other browser makers, Microsoft's browser ballot proposal has been amended and offered up for debate yet again by the EU; this time around, it will actually be tested out by consumers. A number of changes have been made since the first proposal, so let's take a look.

A site that only supports IE (and tells you as much on the first page you visit) only gets IE traffic?!? How shocking!!
Do you know what the actual issue is? Is their javascript incompatible, does the styling break, or are they using ActiveX? If it is styling, there is really no excuse, since there are billions of cross browser sites on the internet. Any web developer worth the name doesn't even really have to think about it to be able to make something more or less look the same in all the recent browsers (not counting IE) it is just part of the job.
If it is javascript, it could be that they have a lot of it and just don't want to spend the time supporting multiple platforms. That is a pretty crappy attitude to take, but it could easily be an asshole manager who made that decision. The end result is just not professional though, and if they weren't the only option for your client I am sure they would have lost their business ages ago.
